Chapter 2725 The Wheel of Fate Begins to Start
Dozens of Heavenly Eyes transformed into phantoms, hidden above the Dragon-Trapping Ridge, closely monitoring everything that was happening on the Earth Mother Plain.
"Look there!" His trusted confidant, Mo Xubai, pointed to the screen. "Is that an army gathering in that open space?"
"It seems the Cangyan people are planning to go out and support He Yue." Duanmu Heng rested his chin on his hands, his heart pounding. "Go quickly, go quickly!"
His greatest fear was that Mother Earth would avoid the conflict and plunge into the earth. In that case, his three-year-long plan would fail on the spot, and the gods' many preparations would also come to naught.
But as long as Cang Yan decides to support He Yue, his initial plan will be half successful!
Then, these nearly a thousand people disappeared from the plain.
"Earth Escape, and a long-range one at that." Mo Xubai was somewhat surprised. "The Earth Mother has only just arrived at the Dragon-Trapping Ridge, and she can already use such a powerful divine ability?"
"This is its birthplace, and we have a natural connection to it." Duanmu Heng's eyes flashed. "I'm afraid the Earth Mother might also have some talents that can be used within the Dragon-Trapping Cave. Remember this!"
"Yes!"
"However, it's good that the Cangyan army went out to intercept them sooner, so our plan can begin sooner."
The Heavenly Eye rotated, focusing its gaze on the edge of the forest.
After only a few dozen breaths, a cavalry unit suddenly rushed out from the edge of the Kunlongmu Pass and headed towards the Baling army.
"They've attacked quickly! Inform Zhao Shuo immediately that the Cangyan army numbers around a thousand men and is only three miles away!"
"Yes!" Mo Xubai had his own way of contacting Zhao Shuo.
Now that the fish are about to bite, you need to prepare some bait so you don't get swallowed whole.
Another trusted aide, watching from the side, also felt a slight dampness on his back from nervousness: "Sir, shall we begin now?"
Duanmu Heng stared intently at the screen, silently calculating something, before finally revealing a slight smile after a long while:
Let's begin!
……
While the three armies fought fiercely on the battlefield, the area within the Kunlong Cave remained quiet and peaceful, as always.
A forest ranger is working in the field, weeding the dragon blood grass. The crops are growing well and will be ready for harvest in another two weeks.
He was working very diligently, and birds were chirping in the tree canopy nearby.
Just as the pickaxe was about to strike, the forest ranger suddenly stopped and pulled a knot of grass from his pocket.
When he left, the knot of grass was intact, but now it has broken into two pieces.
Most importantly, this knot of grass has remained intact for the past three years, and the greatest significance of him staying here is to wait for it to break one day!
The day has finally come, right now.
The forest ranger packed up his farm tools, strode back to his hut, closed the doors and windows, and quickly took out a purple stone the size of a pigeon egg from the wooden plank by his bedside. He held it in his palm and rubbed it vigorously a few times.
The stone lit up, emitting a gentle purple light.
Then he lifted a wooden plank from the ground, revealing a small, empty pit that had been dug beforehand, with damp soil underneath.
The forest ranger then picked up a stone and slammed it hard against the wooden plank.
With a snap, the stone shattered like an egg, and what flowed out was not liquid, but pale purple smoke.
Ordinary smoke rises, but this purple smoke flows downwards like water, which is known as "backflow smoke".
It flowed into a small pit under the plank, where it briefly clumped together. The forest ranger even saw it solidify into a shape, like a tiny slug.
Soon, it flipped over and burrowed into the bottom of the pit, disappearing without a trace of purple light or smoke.
The forest ranger stood there for a few moments, and seeing nothing amiss, went out of the house and continued his work.
He wasn't the only one; many forest rangers in the Dragon's Lair were doing the same thing.
They released dozens of purple slugs underground, scattered across different locations within the Dragon-Trapping Mound. If these locations were marked on a sand table depicting the Dragon-Trapping Mound, they would appear to be distributed around the Earth Mother.
A quarter of an hour passed.
Half an hour passed.
The Dragon-Bound Cave remained quiet and still; the wind continued to blow and the birds continued to sing, as if nothing had happened.
But in Longhu West Town, a similar purple stone egg lit up on Duanmu Heng's table.
This stone pebble is larger than others of its kind, and the patterns on its surface are clearer, as if sprinkled with gold and silver powder. It also changes light under the light, making it incredibly beautiful and dreamlike.
More than ten breaths later, two bird demons, having completed their reconnaissance mission in Dragon Hole West Town, were returning to Earth Mother Plain when they were suddenly struck by two beams of rainbow light from below. Their bodies went numb, and they fell into the forest below.
Here, outside the confined area of the Dragon's Nest, west of the ring-shaped mountain wall, the colors of the trees and rivers are normal.
Vast uninhabited areas were covered by dense forests, so thick that the sky was obscured. Suddenly, many people appeared out of nowhere, their faces indifferent, and they gathered at the edge of the forest.
"Everyone's here, not a single one missing. Geng Yue, let's begin."
When his name was called, Geng Yueshen came out and reached out to tear off a vine and a long branch from a large rock.
The stone, which had been completely hidden, was revealed to be its true form after He pulled it like that.
The irregular boulder, larger than a ten-person dining table, has a smooth, mirror-like surface with thousands of lines engraved with extremely complex magic arrays. An ordinary person would feel dizzy just looking at it.
The Great Mountain Moving Formation!
The formation had been inscribed long ago and was usually concealed by dense vines, so that those unaware of it could not see anything even when they got close.
Geng Yue Shen then threw large pieces of dark red Xuanjing into the core of the Great Mountain Moving Formation. Even now, any one of these pieces could easily sell for two or three hundred thousand taels of silver in the outside world, but He didn't even blink and kept throwing them in one after another.
After throwing in more than twenty coins, the array finally stopped working – it had run out of coins.
Geng Yue then pressed his hands into the array's core, muttering incantations.
A quarter of an hour later, he twisted his hands forcefully, and the smooth stone wall, like a gate, was pushed open inward!
To this day, the famous Great Mountain Moving Formation has evolved into many variations, but its basic characteristics are still fixed drawing, long transmission distance, huge energy consumption, long initial start-up time, but also a large number of creatures that can be teleported.
In the next battle, no one will care about the energy consumption.
After the teleportation portal opened, everyone filed in.
About ten breaths later, the array gate slowly closed again and stopped emitting light, becoming inconspicuous in the darkness of the jungle.
So, where is the other base of the Great Mountain Moving Formation located? Or rather, where were these fifty or so people teleported to?
It is, of course, inside the Dragon-Trapping Cave, but not on land.
Previously, the Earth Mother teleported the Panlong Army from the plains out of the Dragon-Trapping Mound in just over ten breaths, indicating that Duanmu Heng's prior deduction was correct. While this rare and powerful demon resided in the Dragon-Trapping Mound, it could merge with the ground and extend its spiritual senses. If an unknown outsider suddenly appeared in the Dragon-Trapping Mound, it would be difficult to hide it from the Earth Mother's eyes and ears.
However, Mother Earth cannot control the water within the Dragon-Trapping Cave!
